More power phases, more sata ports, thunderbolt, better wireless and etc... srsly you can compare the two board by taking 2 pics and finding a description about it. It takes 5 minutes to do that. Faster than I can right that list...

I compared the two boards but I had a hard time finding their differences. Now which board would be best for my use? I don't plan to oc.

Z87-A. This board should even be pretty great at overclocking but if you go with the lower-end models you get worse onboard sound etc... this one's pretty good all-around.Edited by adridu59 - 6/4/13 at 9:59am

The Pro seems to have more power phases than the Expert (8 vs 12). Only the added features like Thunderbolt makes the Expert seem higher in the lineup.

I'm biased towards the Pro I guess.

To directly answer the OP's question, the Deluxe carries a 16 phase power design, has more SATA ports, comes with a beefier chipset heatsink, and has no thunderbolt.Edited by garf333 - 6/4/13 at 10:12am
